A long-standing partnership connects Doppelmayr with the Repulic of Korea. Since first entering the market in 1985, the world’s leading ropeway manufacturer has built a total of 64 installations in South Korea.
A large number of Doppelmayr ropeways will be in operation at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea. The Doppelmayr Group won all four invitations to tender for the ropeway installations for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic venues (in brackets in the list below).
In total, there will be 22 installations at four venues transporting the Olympic Athletes, their teams and the visitors: six at Yongpyong Resort, which will host the slalom and giant slalom competitions, ten in the Pheonix Snow Park for the freestyle skiing and snowboard events, three at Alpensia Resort for ski jumping, biathlon, crosscountry and the sliding sports, as well as three at the Jeongseon Alpine Center for downhill, super-G and super combined.
